		<description>that argument in the middle is just a bit lame, the point of the comics and the cartoons when u were 6 was to sit and enjoy the 30 mins it was on for, and thats exactly what this film is about sitting back and enjoying a kickassed film, so what, they changed things, but thats because its the MODERNISED version, in the first scene when u see bumblebee, he is priced at 5k, and right next to him is a YELLOW VW BEETLE hello? thats for u lot!!! and jazz the saleen/what ever he is, before shia gets his car they drive thru the porche garage, again another in joke.
Another thing, that to me is pretty obvious, is that if the cube is a 1/100th of its size then its in transport mode or what ever so it wouldnt heal, just expend f*cking great big large ammounts of energy. 

So really guys just chill with the arguements, think back to when u were 6-10 and watch the movie as a 7 year old THEN you will love it!!!</description>

		<description>Some holes and illogic
1. The robots have advanced weapons, as demostrated at the start of the movie. But later, most fighting was done by knocking each other around, with the bad bots just standing around waiting to be wasted. 
2. All the humans was acting cool and stupid and irrational. Sam sure took his sweet time trying to find the glasses. And telling the autobots to shut the hell up? And when he found the glasses, he doesn't give it to the autobots?? He blackmails people, locks them up, and humiliates them while the earth is on the verge of being taken over by robots? He could've just told people that Bumblebee was a Friendly, he never did. Why did the autobots even bothered with Sam once they got the glasses already? The autobots got the glasses and it takes them forever to drive around to get to the cube?
3. The scorpion bot? Weak? Useless? Disappeared? Stupid? Acting drunk? On drugs?
4. All these years and Megatron wasn't disassembled? This is while Bumblebee was being shocked with electricity for no apparent reason?? Why couldn't the autobots have explained themselves to the section 7 people? Why did they have to run and seek? Even after Bumblebee was captured?
5. Why was the section 7 guy acting like he's an agent of megatron? Can he be anymore obnoxious and stupid and acting against the interest of the entire human race?
6. Why would any sane person throw away advanced military technology when they just had their butts kicked by a few alien robots?? Especially when several bad robots remains unaccounted for? Dumb?? Section 7, which gave Earth all the modern technologies and knew the most about the alien robots, was disbanded?? And the BEST way to destroy alien technology is by throwing it into the ocean?
7. Can Mikaela be any more shallow? She sees Sam fell off his bike and then she for no reason chases after him?? She was not at all attracted to Sam, she sees alien robots graveling to Sam, Sam is key to the survival of the human species, blah, blah... She makes out with Sam when just a few days ago she was with another jock?? 
8. 3 bad robots can fly and none of the autobots can fly and the best plan was for Sam to run to the top of a faraway building and light a signal telling everyone that he's there???
9. So Bumblebee and Sam have the cube. They say that want to destroy it? But then they don't attempt to do anything to destroy it and they just run around like headless chickens?? To the city... why? So a lot of people can die??? Take the cube to the military?? Why?? What for??
10. Why does section 7 spent all those time explaining everything when the earth is in danger of being taken over by robots? Section 7 doesn't interogate or askes questions and Sam had to give important information by casually blurbing it out?
11. The small robot couldn't have just cut off power supplies, targeted the old communications equipment or...? Why did he act all stupid like a headless chicken? It can hack into the pentagon in 10 seconds and it killed himself by cutting his own head off??
12. With the level of firepower showed in Qatar of just one bad bot, the decepticons could've leveled the entire city, they could'nt even kill a few humans shooting at them constantly and doing damages? how can they keep missing? How can all the humans mysteriously survive all the explosions and firepower?
13. Why did Megatron have to ask Sam nicely for the cube first? Why would he care? He could've just reached over, grabbed the whole column, squeezed Sam into a pulp and take the cube.
14. Why didn't Megatron made sure Prime was really finished off? Megatron was frozen solid for decades and he can speak in English the moment he awakens?
15. Optimus Prime was telling Sam to put the cube into his chest and the next moment, the cube is melting into Megatron??
16. The autobots have absolutely nothing better to do than to watch Sam and Mikaela make out and possibly "mate" on top of Bumblebee's hood??
17. Bumblebee was lighting a signal into the sky like batman, why? Optimus Prime was still in space at that moment. 
18. The decepticons had to hack into the pentagon network several times to know about the glasses, but Prime just crashed on Earth and he knew all about it, and the internet and stuff... and Prime couldn't sent an email to Sam and explain the situation beforehand?
19. The cellphone robot was with Sam all those times and it didn't tried to steal the glasses, call the other robots to attack, or do anything at all??
20. A fat computer game player who acts like a dumbass is the best hacker possible? The audio data suddenly and magically appeared as alien language characters and those were decoded back into english information???

Why was everyone acting all stupid like headless chickens and doing things for absolutely no reason?? A 4 year old could've wrote a better script and the movie could've been much better.</description>

		<description>Real simple to grasp people.. How to mechanical robots or living robots shape shift on the fly.. How can mechanical transformers mechanically transform into things they clearly don't have the parts for.. How does a 6ft robot that turns into a radio suddenly become the same 6tf robot that turns into a little itty bitty cell phone.. People the mechanics of this movie is fucked.. if they can just look and scan things and then shape shift into what they scan..there is no point to transforming.. I would think the most mind challenged person here could figure that out.. All it would become is them scanning each other to become Megatron or Optimus Prime.. Why be little bumble bee when you can just scan Megatron and become him.. it kills the entire point! This goes beyond mechanics to the realm of magic.. The point that none of the transformers actually even transform is pathetic.. How do you call a movie based off a toy line transformers when your movie characters only shape shift into what ever they want even though they don't have the mechanical parts to do so.. 

You people are blind.. its not about maturity, it's about the logic within the film.. It's called an opinion.. You liked the movie..great.. But you act as if it made any sort of logical sense.. 

You are right.. you won't dubunk this because you would look like an idiot trying to debunk why or how mechanical creatures could magically shape shift.. Toy line make mechanical sense.. this movie is just complete crap in regards to its logic..</description>

		<description>I don't have time to debunk all your piss-poor arguments Will, but in the film, "Quantum Mechanics" referred to modern cryptographic methods predicted to supercede things such as Fourier Transfers, based on the superposition of states in Quantum Theory. She was talking about the way the bot was hacking their database, not about the bots' composition. Don't try to incorporate concepts you have no understanding of into your arguments in future.

Everything else you've typed that I could be bothered to read is also flawed, which is impressive considering how much you have written. Of course there are plotholes, it's an action movie, but you seem unable to find them or express them coherently, because you're a retard.</description>

		<description>Disclaimer:  Michael Bay kicked a huge part of my childhood in the junk and wandered off, pinky extended from a glass of overpriced wine, bottom jaw jutting out, laughing like he was taking a stroll through the Hamptons.

The original origins of Transformers the cartoon had it that the Autobots were ripping through space on the Ark, their ship, when they were attacked by the Decepticons.  During the fight, all hell breaks loose and they crash landed on earth at the base of a volcano millions of years before the present.  The volcano stirred and seismic activity reactivated the Ark's computers.  Seeing it's crew disabled, it sent out probes to identify the strongest lifeforms on the planet with the intent to rebuild the crew in their image thus giving them the best chance for survival.  Seeing all the vehicles sheppherding the tiny hairless monkeys around, it made them in that image.

AMAZING.

The odd thing is, I thought I'd be incredibly mad over this new movie.  It doesn't count.  It's like a guy whose face looks like a pepperoni pizza sending flowers to your girlfriend, you're just not threatened by it.  It's more sad than anything.

Did anyone notice this movie was a play by play of Independence Day?  Goofy idiots suddenly rubbing shoulders with the top echelons of the U.S. Defense Dept., crazy viruses that were kind enough to add bad visuals giving you a play by play of how they were gutting your network, enough bastardization of sound signal visualization to make any audio engineer cringe, goofy humans you have no emotional attachment to whatsoever taking down giant hulking alien machinery in a completely stupid way (nice motorcycle.), and my personal favourite, grinding the movie to a halt to bring civilians up to speed on secret military operations.

"Ok, so while the Decepticons are enroute, give me your cell phone and we can play with robots for a few minutes.  After that I'll show you a big frozen robot that will defrost in six minutes... which is neat because we brought it to the desert in the 30s without it melting."

... that followed by a 2 hour drive to... New York?  Chicago?  Didn't look like any city near the Hoover Dam that I know of.  

I'm tempted to urinate on any Panisonic, HP, or GM product I see now.  I also want to use Deloitte &#38; Touche and eBay's services as toilet paper.  Ridiculous product placement, how long was the shot paused for when she took that Panasonic memory card out of the card reader the government conveniently provided in it's super top secret critical analysis facility?

When people ask me how the Transformers movie was, I'll tell them it was absolutely great.  10 out of 10.  2 thumbs up and a raging erection.  You should've seen Unicron blow up, it was awesome.</description>

After that I&#8217;ll show you a big frozen robot that will defrost in six minutes&#8230; which is neat because we brought it to the desert in the 30s without it melting.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8230; that followed by a 2 hour drive to&#8230; New York?  Chicago?  Didn&#8217;t look like any city near the Hoover Dam that I know of.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m tempted to urinate on any Panisonic, HP, or GM product I see now.  I also want to use Deloitte &amp; Touche and eBay&#8217;s services as toilet paper.  Ridiculous product placement, how long was the shot paused for when she took that Panasonic memory card out of the card reader the government conveniently provided in it&#8217;s super top secret critical analysis facility?</p>
<p>When people ask me how the Transformers movie was, I&#8217;ll tell them it was absolutely great.  10 out of 10.  2 thumbs up and a raging erection.  You should&#8217;ve seen Unicron blow up, it was awesome.</p>

		<description>Even the cartoon had taken it too far then.. Remember these were based off a 
toy line.. The movie took it well beyond even resembling the cartoon.. The cartoon the characters pretty much held true to the toys..and actually could transform physically and mechanically.. The movies transformers do no transform.. they are
a graphic mess of an illusion.. That is a big problem right there alone.. OP's trailer in the cartoon was assumed not to have a role in the cartoons.. However, the toy had its trailer transform into a base of some sort.. Mechanical beings could possible have two parts to them.. If you notice in the cartoons all the robots in their robot form were
already of their Earth based form.. The cartoon screws it all up and has Starscream
transform into a space ship when his robot form clearly shows the F-15 wings and parts.. So basically the cartoons are all messed as well.. I don't think the original idea behined transformers is to have magical shape shifting abilities.. It just defeats the entire purpose of transforming mechanical living beings.. I just feel they should have made mechanical sense out of these as did the toy line...
My movie gripes were : shape shifting, Ebay commercial, Characters not as who they were in the cartoons *starscream f-15, megatron gun...ectra*, bad story and plot, Allspark not apart of the history.. 

I was fine with Optimus prime being a truck.. I wasn't fine with them making him look stupid at the boys house in some retarded or lame attempt at comedy.. I loved the idea of making them more of a living being.. Just annoying when they completely screw things up.. I guess I just demand them to make it more believable without the use of magical things like shapeshifting and changing characters to what ever they please.. 

in the end.. just too many things that defy the idea of being a transformer..</description>

		<description>First episode of the Transformers cartoon has Soundwave transformed as a full size lightpost on a road where (i believe wheeljack and bumblebee) pass.
here's the youtube video, scene is at 4 minutes exactly: http://youtube.com/watch?v=t9Ghg1zd19U

Actually the whole first episode has the TF's use their earth robot forms but Cybertronian alt-modes.

Maybe not on the topic of shape shifting but what about Hounds incredibly stupid "full matter hologram projector" in the first season i think (i'd have to look for the comic or cartoon) hound projects a hologram of an enormous gestalt/combiner to combat devastator.

Untill YOU can explain how all decepticons can fly in G1 and the autobots not, only THEN you have a valid ground to complain about this movie.. btw, where does OP's trailer go all the time in the cartoon?</description>

		<description>"He really wonders how it is possible for transformers to scan other objects and assume their form, worrying about â€œshapeshifting on the flyâ€ while not realizing thatâ€™s how they acquire their first alt-mode as well. Heâ€™s baffled by this thing called the Allspark and pretty much denies itâ€™s function because it simply was not in G1. He keeps with his point that the transformations in the movie are incorrect and the G1 toys are the epitome of all that is good in transforming robots."

wtf? This is how stupid this comment was.. Although he is correct.. that transforming is a form or shapeshifting.. However, Transformers could never look at objects and shape shift ito objects there were not.. Shape shifting mechanical structure makes transforming obsolete and incredible stupid.. They wouldn't need to transform.. they could just look at megatron and become him.. Yeah..wtf ??? Sorry Robots being able to shape shift thier mechanical structure is complete BULL SHIT! Show me an episode anywhere in the transformer comic or cartoon from the original series that shows them looking at shit and shape shifting into various objects.. YOU CAN'T! it Defies the very reason for TRANSFORMING! DURR! On transforming so fast.. I don't care how fast they can..The point about the movie is that they don't actually transform..unlike the cartoons and toy lines.. That is the problem with the movie.. 

Only a shit writer and director couldn't make a great movie out of the original transformer cartoons and comics.. Willing to be someone could have..

On the Allspark.. Point of it being bs.. Is this is the directors own creation.. Was never part of the Transformers.. If he had used the matrix that would have been a totally different story..</description>
